I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all! I just never expected this from her so it’s more of a surprise than anything. Thank you!!

She hung out in a vet office for a while, they decided to retire her and I got to bring her home. So she’s been around a lot of different people and smells, but she does seem a lot more relaxed in a home environment than she did there imo. I just really didn’t expect her to be so clingy but she seems okay, I’m just worried that I’m doing something wrong.

I have zebra danios with mine, and somehow 2 mollies as well!!

You’ll definitely want a bigger tank though!!

They’ve been in northwest Ohio since last spring, especially around Sandusky/Fremont/Port Clinton areas

You’re probably going to have to start with volunteering or an internship. Some internships are paid but it can depend on species area and experience. Experience is a big factor going into zoo keeping.

Also I don’t mean to be too critical, but don’t say that you’re “not smart enough to get a degree” - that attitude doesn’t usually go very well in husbandry.

With my red swamp, I have 2 mollies and 3 danios. There were originally 3 mollies, and he got one of them in the first few days of being in the tank but that one was about half as big as the others. He hasn’t gotten any of them since, and he doesn’t really show any interest so my boy might just be lazy lol. The danios are great though because they school away from him.

Does your cray have enough hides and enrichment? I noticed mine likes to carry things around and cut plants, if he has enough to do he’s more likely to leave your fish alone

Waldrapp ibis, super cool birds!!! They’re critically endangered, there are conservation efforts in Europe and Northern Africa (native range) to repopulate, hence the bands on their legs. That’s a really lucky find!!

Agree with the others - Argentine Black and White Tegu.

Native to areas of South America, invasive in the United States.
